Psych 6112: Social Bases of Behavior Alliant University - Fall 2009 Course Meeting Time: Wednesdays, 6-9pmLocation: SF Campus Professor: Dr. Christina ScottEmail:ProfCScott@gmail.com *Alliant University’s policies and objectives provided by Dr. Dikla Shmueli (2009). Rationale: Ph.D. Program outcomes targeted by the Social Bases of Behavior course specifically include:
Objective 1: To develop broad theoretical and scientific knowledge in foundational areas that provides the basis for the effective practice of clinical psychology, which is part of the broader Goal 1: To prepare students to be effective professional psychologists who are skilled at evaluating psychological functioning and providing effective interventions with diverse clients across a range of settings. Psy.D. program outcomes targeted by this course include Outcome A: To develop students/graduates who are well grounded in the science of psychology. Social psychology is a young discipline, spanning just over one hundred years. It is a discipline at the crossroads of psychology and sociology. This course focuses on the scientific examination of the individual in the situation, or in different contexts, such as a particular social, group or cultural context. In this course, students will gain perspective on the range of human behaviors and norms in different settings. Social psychology also encompasses the study of how people relate to, think about, perceive and influence others. The knowledge and critical thinking gained from courses in the foundations of scientific psychology truly distinguish the psychologist clinician. Students will also benefit from learning about the methods and tools utilized by social psychologists as these often inspire CSPP students to develop research questions and new approaches to the dissertation. Course Description: We will cover the major concepts in the field of social psychology through a combination of lectures, class discussions based on readings of empirical articles and literature reviews. There will be an emphasis on the application of theory and scientific findings to practical issues and the practice of psychology. Topics covered in the current course are methods in social psychology, history of ideas in social psychology, motivation and emotions (including research on positive psychology, the self (including self-presentation and self-regulation), stereotyping, prejudice and discrimination, social influence, attitudes and attitude change, prosocial behavior, aggression, social perception and attributions,interpersonal relationships and attachment, and group dynamics and processes (including social facilitation and groupthink).
In keeping with the values of the Alliant community, throughout the course, the role of culture in influencing social behavior and its influence in social psychological studies will be discussed. And, current trends in research on emotion and “positive psychology” will be discussed. Social Bases of Behavior will prepare students to think critically about their professional work as clinicians in assessment and treatment, and in the client-therapist relationship. For example, they will be familiar with the biases that can influence perceptions of others and the various factors that can influence people’s attitudes and beliefs, especially those that may be outside of conscious awareness. Purpose of the Course: Students will: 1.Read empirical studies and attend lectures that address major theories and concepts in social psychology in three general areas: individual processes, interpersonal processes, and group processes 2.Examine critically social psychological research and findings 3.Read literature reviews and consider each author’s interpretation of the data 4.Learn about research methods used by social psychologists and the challenges in conducting studies that have strong reliability and validity 5.Consider the application of social psychological theories and findings in clinical work Specific Learning Outcomes: Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to: 1.Describe significant theories, concepts and key findings that form the basis of scientific social psychology 2.Consider how social psychological findings may be applied to problems in clinical work: e.g., factors that may affect particular patients both inside and outside of the clinical setting; factors that may affect the nature and course of one’s relationships as a professional psychologist 3.Consider factors that can bias assessment and decision making in professional work as well as responses to interventions and intervention outcomes 4.Describe factors that may affect individuals’ behavior in groups 5.Demonstrate skill in critically evaluating and discussing research literature Instructional Strategy Each week there is a brief lecture pertaining to the main topics and required readings that address aspects of the lecture. Class time will be devoted to lecture, class discussion, and a discussion of the dramatic scripts that illustrate various social psychological concepts that we are studying. Readings are available on Moodle, under “Course Materials”. Moodle also contains links that will be helpful to students in terms of learning more about class topics and generally about social psychology. In order that students are able to participate in class discussions, it is essential that readings be completed prior to coming to class. Students are held accountable for the readings, lectures, and class discussions. Discussion most often takes place in the group as a whole. Each week a different student will facilitate the discussion based on discussion questions that the other students sent in one day before the day of class. Class Component on Multicultural and International Issues This class includes an examination of multicultural issues such as race, class, gender, culture and sexual orientation in terms of societal factors that affect the well being of individuals and groups. Included are processes of stereotyping, discrimination and prejudice and how these can be perpetuated or minimized. Many topics in social psychology address multicultural and international issues such as the research on cross-cultural differences, intergroup relations, aggression, attitudes and attitude change, conformity and group processes. Teaching Beliefs I believe in learning for life, not for exams. Although this material may seem tedious and complicated at times, I believe that an active learning environment will help you better understand and apply the material outside of the classroom. The format and assignments for this class reflect my beliefs and are designed to further your understanding of each concept. Learning is a team effort and which will require your active participation and commitment to understanding the material. If you do not understand a concept it is your responsibility to ask for help. Ask a friend or ask the professor for assistance, but do not struggle alone. Learning does not occur in a vacuum. Behavioral Expectations/Attendance 1.Policies Related To Class Attendance, Lateness, Missed Exams or Assignments The University expects regular class attendance by all students.Each student is responsible for all academic work and class announcements missed during absences. If you miss a class in which you were assigned to be discussion facilitator or present the supplementary article you will not receive those points. If you miss a class you are still expected to send in your discussion questions the day before class. See the University Catalog for the complete policy on attendance.http://www2.alliant.edu/download/2005/catalog/3_Academic_Policies.pdf). 2.Responsibility to Keep Copies Remember – it is good practice to keep copies of ALL major assignments/papers you turn in.On rare occasions, work may be lost because of computer failure or other mishaps. 3.Respectful Speech and Actions Alliant International University, by mission and practice, is committed to fair and respectful consideration of all members of our community, and the greater communities surrounding us.All members of the University must treat one another as they would wish to be treated themselves, with dignity and concern. As an institution of higher education, Alliant International University has the obligation to combat racism, sexism, and other forms of bias and to provide an equal educational opportunity. Professional codes of ethics (e.g., from the APA for psychology students) and the Academic Code shall be the guiding principles in dealing with speech or actions that, when considered objectively, are abusive and insulting. 4.Academic Code of Conduct and Ethics The University is committed to principles of scholastic honesty.Its members are expected to abide by ethical standards both in their conduct and in their exercise of responsibility towards other members of the community.Each student’s conduct is expected to be in accordance with the standards of the University.The complete Academic Code, which covers acts of misconduct including assistance during examination, fabrication of data, plagiarism, unauthorized collaboration, and assisting other students in acts of misconduct, among others, may be found in the University Catalog.The University reserves the right to use plagiarism detection software. 5.Evaluation of Students’ Professional Development and Functioning In CSPP, multiple aspects of students’ professional development and functioning (e.g., cognitive, emotional, psychological, interpersonal, technical, and ethical) will be evaluated throughout the process of education and training in our professional psychology and MFT programs.This kind of comprehensive evaluation is necessary in order for faculty, staff, and supervisors to appraise the professional development and competence of their students.See the University Catalog for the complete CSPP policy on “Evaluation of Student Competence: A. Student Disclosure of Personal Information” (Appendix B). 6.Disability Accommodations Request If you need disability-related accommodations in this class, please see me privately.All accommodations must be requested in a timely manner (at least 2 weeks ahead of time) with a letter of support for Alliant’s Office of Disability Services.If you have questions about accommodations, please contact the Office of Disability Services. 7.Policy on Course Requirements During Religious Holidays Alliant International University does not officially observe any religious holidays.However, in keeping with the institution’s commitment to issues of cultural diversity as well as humanitarian considerations, faculty are encouraged to appreciate students’ religious observances by not penalizing them when they are absent from classes on holy days.Alliant International University faculty will be sensitive to these matters.Students should be similarly respectful of faculty members’ right to observe religious days. 8.Resources for Obtaining Tutoring or Other Student Support Services Tutors are available to help students with course-based or exam-based needs.Contact the Director of Student Support Services for information on obtaining tutoring – or other student support services – on your campus. 9.Problem Solving Resources If problems arise with faculty, other students, staff, or student support services, students should use the University Problem Solving Procedures, under “students concerns and grievances” located on the web at http://www2.alliant.edu/stuserv or contact the Systemwide Dean of Students, Craig Brewer, cbrewer@alliant.edu, 949-833-2651.

Client Evaluations: Application Assignments Client Evaluations: Application Assignments are designed to help you apply social psychology concepts in a practical setting and relate them back to your clinical focus. A handout will be given prior to each activity with questions dealing with specific social psychology concepts, which you will be asked to define, apply and expand upon with regard to your specific client (From Twilight of the Golds). You may work with a partner on all assignments, however you will receive a “group grade” based on the quality of your collective work. All application assignments MUST be typed in 12 point font, using double spacing, APA formatting, and require a cover page. Do NOT print papers on recycled paper, clean copies are required. Late assignments are worth a possible 80% if turned in within 48 hours, and 50% if turned in after that period.If you have made arrangements to take the exam at another time, your application assignment is still due on the assigned date! DO NOT send your work via email, a hard copy is required. Each application assignment is worth 100 points.
Plagiarism
Many students claim that they “changed a few words” when copying a passage or statement from an academic journal or book. This is plagiarism! Using the words, ideas, or research of another person without proper citation or acknowledgment is plagiarism and is a violation of the honor code. Always reference the source of your information and ideas in the text of your writing. If you use the exact wording, use quotation marks. If you cite a quote larger than 40 words, you will need to use a block format quotation. Grading Your grade in this course will be determined by your performance in discussions, papers, and presentations. Your grade will be calculated based on a percentage of points earned out of possible points. (So if you have 91% of the points, you will have an A-, if you have 89%, you have a B+.) Please take some time each month to calculate your current percentage as it will tell you WHERE you stand grade-wise in the class. Please note, many students equate effort with a high grade, and do not consider the level of mastery of the course material. Just because you have “worked hard” on an assignment, does not mean it is necessarily deserving of a high grade. The grades in this course are based on a level of mastery of the material and points will be assigned accordingly.
